The Initiative on Extreme Weather and Climate

The Columbia Initiative on Extreme Weather and Climate is focused on understanding the risks to human life and property from extreme weather events, both in the present and future climates, and on developing solutions to mitigate those risks. The Initiative engages the broad and deep expertise that exists across Columbia University on all dimensions of this problem. With partners in the private sector, government, and academia, we work towards the goal of greater societal resilience to extreme weather and climate.
